Unified data workflows have cut ticket processing times and are driving faster business insights

Databricks already provides monthly updates and continuously works on delivering new features while enhancing existing ones. However, the platform could become easier to use. While instruction-led workshops are available, offering more free instructional workshops would allow a wider audience to access and learn about Databricks. Additionally, providing use cases would help beginners gain more knowledge and hands-on experience. Regarding my experience, I was initially unfamiliar with the platform and had to conduct research and learn through various videos. I did find some instruction-led classes, but several of those required payment. The platform should provide more free resources to enable a broader audience to access and learn about Databricks. The platform itself is user-friendly and easy to use without complex issues, so I believe it does not need improvement in its core functionality. Rather, supporting aspects can be enhanced.

Powerful BI tool for analyzing financial performance and stable performance

I would rate the scalability of Jedox a seven out of ten. There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself. So that's where the main improvements lie—making it easy for people to not depend on just technical finance teams. There are almost 50 to 60 users using Jedox in our organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Databricks serves as a single platform that can handle numerous end-to-end machine learning tasks."

"Databricks is a truly essential platform for data engineering needs, and I recommend it to anyone looking to advance in the data engineering field."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"Databricks is a unified solution that we can use for streaming. It is supporting open source languages, which are cloud-agnostic. When I do database coding if any other tool has a similar language pack to Excel or SQL, I can use the same knowledge, limiting the need to learn new things. It supports a lot of Python libraries where I can use some very easily."

"Databricks covers end-to-end data analytics workflow in one platform, this is the best feature of the solution."

"We are completely satisfied with the ease of connecting to different sources of data or pocket files in the search"

"The solution is easy to use and has a quick start-up time due to being on the cloud."

"Its lightweight and fast processing are valuable."

More Databricks pros

"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."

"The ETL itself was pretty useful and it's integrated in the tenant itself. So the Olap service technology was impressive to me. In order to extract that and load it in the tube in the same tenant or the same tool that was something magnificent because I actually missed this in SEB. SEB requires another tool, and you have to integrate all the tools together. But for Jedox, it was in the one tool."

"The solution is very versatile."

"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."

"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."

"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

More Jedox pros

Cons

"My experience with the pricing and licensing model is that it remains relatively expensive. Though it's less expensive than AWS, we still need a more cost-effective solution."

"The data visualization for this solution could be improved. They have started to roll out a data visualization tool inside Databricks but it is in the early stages. It's not comparable to a solution like Power BI, Luca, or Tableau."

"The initial setup is difficult."

"The product should incorporate more learning aspects. It needs to have a free trial version that the team can practice."

"Databricks would have more collaborative features than it has. It should have some more customization for the jobs."

"The product cannot be integrated with a popular coding IDE."

"The tool should improve its integration with other products."

"Can be improved by including drag-and-drop features."

More Databricks cons

"Being an analytical solution, it should have more visualization options like graphs. When we are putting it, it should have more options. The UI can be made more modernized based on today's market. Sometimes, when we are doing heavy reports or dashboarding, there is a bit of a performance issue because it is pulling up a huge amount of data. That can be improvised by buffer memory and getting some buffer memory feature into it. It is a bit complex because it is a CPM solution. It helps you to get the information based on the different tools that we are using, which is a bit of a complex thing. It is not as easy as Microsoft Power BI. It is also not that easy as an implementation piece. It takes time to convert the business requirement into the proper solutions in the tool, which is time-consuming. It took about eight months to do the complete implementation. We got some training from the partner and the Jedox team, which helped us later on in pulling things forward, but too much learning is required, and too many possibilities are there."

"From a development perspective, there's room for improvement in the area called the designer, where you actually build your reports to make it easier to manage the process."

"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."

"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."

"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."

"I think it's the design of the report because the design and the UI for the report is standard and lame. When you see a Jedox report, it doesn't seem like it's from today, because the technology is something from the last decade. The scalability needs improvement."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."

More Jedox cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs of Databricks depend on how many licenses we need, depending on which Databricks provides a lot of discounts."

"Price-wise, I would rate Databricks a three out of five."

"I would rate the tool’s pricing an eight out of ten."

"Licensing on site I would counsel against, as on-site hardware issues tend to really delay and slow down delivery."

"The billing of Databricks can be difficult and should improve."

"I'm not involved in the financing, but I can say that the solution seemed reasonably priced compared to the competitors. Similar products are usually in the same price range. With five being affordable and one being expensive, I would rate Databricks a four out of five."

"It is an expensive tool. The licensing model is a pay-as-you-go one."

"The basic version of this solution is now open-source, so there are no license costs involved. However, there is a charge for any advanced functionality and this can be quite expensive."

More Databricks pricing and cost advice

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."

"If you are using SAP, then you will have to take an SAP Connector license. The license across the tool is paying for the people who are using it as an admin or as a normal user. They can work out those costs in a manner that can help. This can also be a point of improvement where they can work out the costing, and the developers have a specific licensing cost. The normal users, who are going to do probably data entry or just going to view the dashboard, can have a separate license cost."

"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."

"Excellent value for money."

"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
